Smudging

Smudging is a time-honored ritual used for cleansing a space or home of negative or inactive energy.


As we move about our day, encounter others, and carry energy from space to space, a buildup of stagnant energy happens. The result is low vibes and an energetic plateau. You may feel uninspired, apathetic, stuck, or depressed.





How Do I Smudge?


Step 1: Set An Intention - Take a moment to meditate on your intention, and when you’re ready, begin.

Step 2: Open Windows and Doors - As the sacred smoke purifies your space, you’ll need to direct the negative energy outward. Open the windows and doors to guide the smoke away from your home or space.

Step 3: Light Your Sage Stick Or Herb Bundle - Take your abalone shell and hold your sage stick above it. Then, use a candle or lighter flame to light the end of the sage stick slowly. Any excess ash or embers will fall into the abalone shell. Slowly, a flame will ignite. Blow on the fire lightly to extinguish the flame. The sage stick will release healing smoke, similar to an incense stick.

Step 4: Cleanse Your Space - With your smoking sage stick in hand, move clockwise through your home. Enter each room and waft the smoke into all corners of the room and throughout the open space.

Be mindful not to erupt billows of smoke clouds into one space where the smoke will stagnate. The goal is to keep the smoke moving lightly and efficiently through your home.

Step 5: Extinguish The Smoke - Stay with the sage stick until it stops smoking. Do not leave a smoking stick unattended.
